  Speaker 1: into AI-generated child sexual abuse material. You know, we touched

  Speaker 1: 14 individuals, including Carter himself, deputies, friends, and former associates.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: And again, speaking of flock, according to Reclaim the Net, meanwhile,
• 3:31

• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Investigation announced the arrest of four former Savannah Police Department employees. Why?
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Because they are accused of using the system for non-law
